Finding clothes that fit just right is both an art and a science, and at Silayi Pret, we understand how transformative a well-fitted outfit can be. Whether you’re browsing our Luxury Embroidered Pret, chic Summer Co-Ords, or breezy Printed Summer Basics, sizing can be the make-or-break detail in your online shopping experience. So, how do you choose the perfect size at Silayi Pret without the guesswork? Let’s walk you through it.
Understanding the Fit Philosophy at Silayi Pret
Silayi Pret has carved out a niche in Pakistan’s ready-to-wear fashion landscape by combining traditional silhouettes with contemporary flair. Our sizing philosophy is rooted in real Pakistani body proportions, not unrealistic Western charts. This expertise ensures that Silayi Pret’s small or extra large sizes tend to have more breathing room and modest cuts than international brands, making you feel understood and catered to.
Our aim is simple: no compromises on comfort or aesthetics. From relaxed kurtas to tailored maxis, every piece is designed to drape beautifully and flatter diverse body shapes, making you feel confident and stylish.
Size Isn’t a Number – It’s a Feeling
One of the biggest misconceptions in fashion is that size is fixed. Your size can vary depending on the garment’s cut, fabric, and fit. At Silayi Pret, our categories—such as 3PC Stitched Lawn Suits, Maxis, and Fusion Co-Ords—come in various fits. Some are meant to be flowy and oversized, while others are tailored and snug.
That’s why we always recommend checking the size chart for each product. If you’re between sizes, think about how you like your clothes to feel—do you prefer roomy comfort or structured fits?
How to Use the Silayi Pret Size Chart Correctly
Before hitting ‘Add to Cart,’ pause and review our detailed size chart for every product. It typically outlines bust, waist, hip, and shirt length in inches. These aren’t just numbers—they’re your style compass.
Here’s a quick sizing thought process you can use:
-
First, measure yourself using a flexible measuring tape while wearing light clothing.
-
Compare your body measurements to the size chart (always measure the bust at its fullest point, the waist at its narrowest, and the hips at their widest).
-
Note that collections like Luxury Pret or Summer Basics may have slightly different measurement guidelines based on the cut.
It’s also wise to factor in fabric type. Cotton tends to shrink slightly after washing, while blends and synthetics retain shape better. So if you’re shopping from Printed Summer Basics, allow extra room unless the fabric details say “pre-shrunk.”
The Importance of Shirt Lengths and Bottom Cuts
Silayi Pret excels at catering to varying height and body types through diversified shirt lengths. For instance, our Maxi Dresses and Fusion Kurtas often have longer cuts that enhance the overall fall of the fabric. If you’re petite, you might want to opt for shorter shirt lengths to avoid overwhelming your frame.
As for bottoms, Silayi Pret offers everything from farshi shalwars to structured trousers. Each comes with its sizing grid, so don’t assume your usual size in one will automatically work in another. Always cross-check.
Common Sizing FAQs (and Answers!)
What if I fall between two sizes?
Go with the larger size. It’s easier to alter a slightly bigger piece than to stretch a smaller one.
Do Silayi Pret sizes run true to Pakistani standards?
Yes, and in fact, they are designed with Pakistani figures in mind, so you may find them more forgiving than international brands.
Are the sleeves and armholes standard?
They vary by design. More formal collections like Luxury Embroidered Pret feature slightly more tailored sleeves, while casual lines lean towards relaxed fits.
Can I trust the photos on the site?
Absolutely. Silayi Pret uses real-life photography with minimal digital alteration, so what you see is close to what you get. Also, look at how the garments fit on models, usually around average height (5’4” to 5’6”). This transparency is designed to make you feel confident and secure when purchasing.
Testimonials: Real Customers, Real Fit
We’ve heard from hundreds of customers who rave about the perfect fit. A frequent comment is how Silayi Pret designs eliminate the constant need for post-purchase tailoring. It’s a blend of traditional cuts made modern, designed for the everyday South Asian woman.
One customer recently shared, “I ordered a medium in the Co-Ord Set 'KOYO-FS48' and it fit like a dream—roomy enough to stay comfortable during long summer days, but stylish enough for brunches and errands.”
Another wrote, “I was nervous shopping online, but the size guide really helped. I measured at home and matched it to a Small. The 3PC Lawn Suit I got needed zero alterations!”
Tips to Avoid Size Disasters
Always double-check your measurements. Our bodies change with time, seasons, and sometimes even mood (hello bloating!).. Measuring takes five minutes but saves hours of hassle.
If you’re buying as a gift or shopping for someone else, err on the side of a looser fit. Pieces like maxis, printed basics, and kurti sets are forgiving and versatile.
And remember: returns due to sizing issues are avoidable when you take the time to size smart. While Silayi Pret offers clear return policies, getting the fit right the first time is more satisfying.
Sizing in a Fast Fashion World
In an age of quick fashion, Silayi Pret offers a refreshing pause with pieces that are not just pretty, but thoughtfully constructed. Our attention to fit and form stems from years of customer feedback, fabric testing, and iterative design. We don’t rush our sizing decisions—and you shouldn’t either.
As our collections grow—from Semi-Formals to Solids, from workwear-friendly Fusion to party-ready Luxury Pret—so do our sizing refinements. However, our commitment to making every woman feel like her best, most comfortable self remains constant.
